Such is our fin-de-siecle. On every side, the idea of quality is ritually attacked, so that many young artists have come to doubt the most basic experience involved in comparing one artwork with another -- namely, that there are differences of intensity, articulateness, radiance, between works of art; that some speak more convincingly than others; and that this is not a political matter.

At first it seems that the dead man, a bureaucrat named Buhler, was merely involved in a scheme to get rich selling artwork confiscated from Jews. This would not be a major offense, because it is known that during the war, all Jews were evacuated to the east somewhere -- March isn't clear on the details -- and never came back...
